Shake This Book!

Give this book a shake and watch the animals get all jumbled up! Egged on by a mischievous rabbit, readers are invited to find out what happens if they shake this book really hard. The result? Utter pandemonium! The hippo and moose are jumbled into a hippopota-moose, the ladybug and the pug become a lady-pug, and the koala and the owl become a ko-owl-a bear. But that's just the beginning! Subsequent shakes mean even more jumbling of the disgruntled animals. The hopelessly mixed-up animals reproach the reader for making such a huge mess-and then implore them to shake the book again to unjumble everybody and put things right. It doesn't happen right away-there's still lots of mix-ups and chaos-but after shaking to the left, to the right, upside down, and all around, the animals are returned to their original forms. This highly hilarious and interactive book invites readers to actively participate in the story while breaking the fourth wall!
